New Trump assassination attempt...

[4Q Basket Case]

Agree that he is a habitual law breaker, he has been all over the map with his political leanings, he is probably relatively nuts, he is really good at sitting in bushes, he is really bad at hiding his weapon, and he is best behind bars. No politics needed for any of that.

Probably relatively nuts? What has he said to earn the benefit of any doubt whatsoever? The guy makes the rantings of a flat-earther vaxx-deniers sound like lectures on time by Stephen Hawking.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one. He has to be a full on kookoo ball.

He did vote for Trump, but apparently and rightfully regretted that decision. Sounds like he's been nuts for quite some time. You guys can have him.

It can sometimes be hard to keep abreast of all the news. Is this crazy guy the one who keeps saying immigrants eat family pets?

This guy wrote a book? The shear disconnect from reality so many people live in who have been given a platform through social media and politics...

"In a 2023 self-published book, Routh referenced his former support for Trump, writing that he must take part of the blame for electing Trump as president, "but I am man enough to say that I misjudged and made a terrible mistake."

In the book, he referred to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection as a "catastrophe … perpetrated by Donald Trump and his undemocratic posse.""

I'm sure this part will be glossed over by those who want to paint him as some kind of left wing assassin.

He is also a Biden-Harris supporter.

That said, can we not just admit the dude's literally a freaking looney and quit trying to pigeon-hole a crazy person as if who he supports in any 15-minute period defines said party? SMH

Can we do the same for a relatively few protesters at colleges?

And when the majority of leading figures in a party behave badly, can we admit that party and its supporters have gone off the rails for continuing to support them?


But again, those leaders (Trump, Vance, pretty much most every republican) are blaming democrats for the nuts making attempts on Trump's life.

I guess balance is not calling them out or pointing out that the two guys have shown support for Trump and conservative policies in the past, in direct contradiction to those claims.

(Or Musk, for that matter, with his dangerous rhetoric on the issue.)

With this latest guy managing to stay alive I imagine we will eventually find out more regarding his motivations. They may not make any sense, or they may just be craziness/stupidity.

Military weapons are being used against the party that refuses to ban them. Meanwhile the general public pays the price.
